Hi Mart, I haven't used WebTest to test GWT apps therefore I can't give a precise solution but only some information:
- HtmlUnit's test suite contains tests that run against GWT. It's 100% green with GWT 1.4.60 but there is a small problem with 1.4.62 (and 1.5RC1) - I've already heard of a project using WebTest to test a GWT app with 1.4.62. They see js exception in the processing of a background task (the problem that HtmlUnit has with GWT 1.4.62) but until now it wasn't a problem for them.
